Let's be honest, Britney's last album, Circus, was not bad for the pattern - had Womanizer, Shattered Glass and Unusual You - but as the successor of the near-perfect Blackout, do not bother to say we were a little disappointed. Since she spent just over two years recording her new job and says it is "made for the clubs" and "your sound more mature and risky until then," would Femme Fatale delivers what it promises?
- The first two singles have already raised the level that Circus has offered us, giving us a couple hits with the smartass destroyers Hold It Against Me and energy Till The World Ends. Both are in their long collaborators: Dr. Luke and Max Martin, combining in a result that is both new and undeniably "Britney".
- Fortunately the other ten songs on the album continues the trend, with I Wanna Go asking to be anthem, full of themselves (Drop Dead) Beautiful and striking Gasoline, all made to the tracks. While the letter go to extremes: "Baby shut your mouth and turn me inside out," in Inside Out, for something totally confidante: "I wanna go down town Where my possessions at / Because I got nine lives like a kitty-cat" in How I Roll.
- Despite the known producers of the album and the obvious themes, the production is polished, intriguing and - best of all - it's fun. Inside Out with dubstep, Big Fat Bass and his "breakdown" with piano and Criminal with their flutes. All leave us intrigued - and at the same time, loaded with energy - during the 65 minutes.
Futures singles? Options abound, but if I Wanna Go, How I Roll and Criminal do not have at least a little attention, well, we'll have strong words to say.
It may have taken four years, but the Femme Fatale is the return after Blackout we were expecting, but with one important distinction: instead of Britney, we think with a bad outfit on a "party" fueled by Red Stripe (a beer Jamaica), this time we are with her in a more chic, hand in hand and asking the bartender a round of Mojitos before dancing a lot. Yes, she teamed with producers with their contemporaries who are thoroughly familiar, and the subject rarely goes beyond the superficial, but what really separates the other Britney, is its unparalleled ability to seduce us, which, given the album title , is something she clearly knows very well how to do.
The Femme Fatale received five out of five stars from Digital Spy magazine.
